How to care for a Black Russian Terrier

Big Dog | January 22nd, 2010

Responsibility of caring for a breed should not be limited to simply feeding him, cleaning up after him, or bathing him. Care ideally encompasses both the physical and mental health, wherein one without the other will be detrimental for the dog. Take the Black Russian Terrier for example. These 80 to 140 pound dogs need to have the black coats brushed at least 30 minutes on a weekly routine as well as bringing them to a groomer every month and a half. Ears must also be inspected regularly and cleaned of any dirt or dead, loose hairs.

Being stubborn as they are intelligent, obedience training should start while young to show them who is in charge as well as socialization with family to accept people. Another aspect to consider is that they are working dogs with a strong work ethic that needs to be fed with tasks and work for it to be fulfilled. Just letting them lay around will dull their minds and hearts. So try to take each aspect into consideration when taking complete and genuine care for a dog.

Getting a canine companion shouldn’t be a result of impulse buying while you happen to be strolling in the mall. Something that may strike one’s fancy can later on turn out to be one’s biggest regret.

Money isn’t easy nowadays and without consulting professional breeders or the canine grapevine, the price you pay now maybe just the tip of the iceberg. The Black Russian Terrier comes with a hefty price tag of $2500 but may not come with a “how-to” comprehensive guide.

Here are some things that one should know about the breed: weighing 80 to 140 pounds, these sheepdogs have black coats with occasional gray hairs. Although they make great intelligent pets, they can be very stubborn so training at a young age is advisable. Grooming composed of 30 minutes a day of brushing and cleaning of ears to avoid infection. The best way to exercise them is to give tasks or simply allow them to run free.

Caring for a Black Russian Terrier has its own challenges. To further understand the function of the breed, it was developed to be a military or work dog, used for guarding borders, prisons and even military bases. A dog like this needs a firm handler for it will push its boundaries if it has a weak master.

These dogs need to be physically and emotionally stimulated to be productive and devoted house pets. Due to its work ethic and innate desire to work, it is happy and content when it has a job or task to do. They are a very energetic breed that needs plenty of exercise to channel it positively. Lack of activity will leave it hyperactive and destructive to its surroundings. Health concerns include hip and elbow dysplasia, and progressive retinal atrophy and would need regular check-ups.

The breed demands respect from its owner as well as attention and affection. They are not truly happy unless they are in the company of their human family.

How Our Best Friends Break Our Hearts - One Dog At A Time

Big Dog | April 23rd, 2009

All our dogs have the ability to break our hearts. Whether you share your life with a BLACK RUSSIAN TERRIER or a Labrador Retriever, the bond you form with your dog can be one of the closest and most powerful you will ever experience.

Saving the Strays of Helmand

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.

Black Russian Terrier Dog Training

Big Dog | March 9th, 2009

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential.

Also, dog training is an integral part of a working dog’s life for them to be able to assist humans in activities like hunting and police work. Training dogs is a specialized skill since the key difficulty lies in how to communicate efficiently with them.

All training of Black Russian Terrier dogs is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

It must also be mentioned that different dog breeds take to training differently. Dogs like the iconic German Shepherd are very easily trained due to their high intelligence. Another important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training of Black Russian Terrier puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your dog as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your dog, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.

Is the Russian Terrier a Healthy Breed?

D Dog Fan | April 7th, 2008

Due to exceptionally careful and meticulous breeding practices of this breed, the only two health problems that seem to plague the Black Russian Terrier are elbow and hip problems in the form of Dysplasia as well as progressive retinal atrophy (PRA). If the ears are not properly cared for, and cleaned, this breed tends to develop Otitis (inflammation of the middle ear) as well. So take good care of your BRT. Although every dog is different, just bear in mind these few diseases that have been catalogued about the breed.
